Missed the Turn

Monday, 6th August 2007 by James

When it was opened in 2001, Rockingham Motor Speedway was Britain’s first purpose built racetrack in almost a hundred years. On the day the Google Earth photograph was taken the stands are all empty, so we can see who sponsors the stadium.

However, there may be no spectators, but there is a car on the track. Well, there was a car on the track!

It would appear that this blue car missed the turn and had to hit the brakes. The car has then turned around and is heading back for the road.
